The Other Birds

My broken dream are in the past, now I move with no backwards glance I know where that leads, I'm on a path on my way home, I understand, i once was young, But now I can leave the tree. The other birds, that i have faced. Have shot me down, to my disgrace. Never will I have to crawl, I'll stand proud and I'll stand tall The one thing they can't take away, are my word or what I say Never again will I fall, I'll fly higher than them all I know that, I'm not alone. For the love, my family's shown I'll never break my wing I'll fly high, and won't touch the ground, all the hate won't pin me down Forever I will sing The other birds, that I have faced. Have shot me down to my disgrace Never will I have to crawl, I'll stand proud and I'll stand tall One thing they can't take away, are my word and what I say Never again will I fall, I'll fly higher than them all If I shall start to frown, I will sit an listen to the sound Of wind flowing through my ear And I will know, that I've found my home Because I no longer fear The other birds that I have faced. They've shot me down to their disgrace Never will I have to crawl, I'll stand proud and I'll stand tall One of the things they can't take away, are the word and what I say Never again will I fall , I'll fly higher than them......
